The Family Talk That’s Better Than the Turkey
Thanksgiving is about food, family, and gratitude, but let’s be honest, it’s also about conversations that get really real. Between the laughter and the leftovers, it’s the one time of year when generations come together under one roof. And that’s exactly why it’s the perfect time to talk about estate planning.
The Truth Nobody Wants to Say
We love our families, but when someone passes away without clear instructions, things can get messy fast. Even the most tight-knit families can end up divided over who gets the house, the car, or that old watch everyone remembers Grandpa wearing.
A clear estate plan prevents those battles before they start. It’s not about being morbid; it’s about protecting peace.
How to Start the Conversation Without Killing the Vibe
Wait until everyone’s relaxed. After dinner is usually best, when people are full, grateful, and maybe feeling sentimental.
Lead with love. Try: “I’ve been thinking about making sure everything’s in place so no one has to worry later.”
Make it about family unity. This isn’t about assets, it’s about keeping everyone connected and stress-free.
Your family deserves clarity and protection. Estate planning isn’t just for the wealthy; it’s for anyone who loves their people enough to plan ahead.
Love Is the Legacy
An estate plan ensures that your story, your values, and your hard work continue to support the people you care about most. It says, “I’ve got you,” even when you can’t say it yourself.
Time to take action: This Thanksgiving, between the pie and the laughter, start a new tradition, talk about your legacy.
